EYE PEEL | INTENSE RESTORATION
A chemical peel on the eye area can help improve skin firmness, and minimize fine lines and dark spots while reducing dark circles. IPL can help your eyes look their best by stimulating collagen with TCA. Available since the 1800s, TCA is considered a gold standard for all acids milder than phenol. TCA leads to the deposition of collagen, glycosaminoglycans, and elastic fibres in the first few weeks after dermal connective tissue remodelling takes over, which may continue for several months.

Chemicals peels sting but do not cause a great deal of pain. The gentlest peels use alpha-hydroxy, glycolic, lactic or fruit acids are also gentle. They may cause stinging, redness, irritation and crusting but as the skin begins to adjust all these problems will lessen. Trichloroacetic acids are used for stronger peelings. They remove wrinkles, superficial blemishes and pigment problems. Phenol is the strongest of all treatments and removes deep lines and wrinkles on the face. These types of treatments sting more than those with the gentler acids. After the treatment there may be redness, swelling and irritation but the use of creams and gels will reduce these effects. The doctor may also prescribe medications that will help relieve the problems after the peel.
• Temporary or permanent change in skin color, particularly for women on birth control pills, who subsequently become pregnant or have a history of brownish facial discoloration.
